Headquarters of the Union Army.

Located at the junction of the Iron Country and the Takino Country, it looks like a huge beast from a distance, standing abruptly on the plain.

Although the construction time is not more than half a month, there is already a shocking feeling in terms of land occupation and the scale of the building.

Batches of supplies were brought in from the outside, and then a large amount of supplies began to be transported outward, like blood transfusions, to the various sub-strongholds of the Union Army to hold on.

In the sky, hundreds of ninjas piloting flying ninja gear swept through the sky and dispersed to the periphery, taking the surrounding area into their hands.

There are also sentient ninjas in the underground, who are good at earth escape, to guard against enemy raids.

In addition, the latest radar inside the fortress of the Alliance Army Headquarters is turned on all day, cooperating with the ninjas of the patrol force to carry out uninterrupted defense 24 hours a day.

In the face of this level of defensive force, there is no other way but to attack one way.

The new and magnificent building, divided into 15 floors, has been paved with elevators to take you from the bottom to the upper floor.

Inside the conference room.

The leaders of the alliance led by the current Five Shadows, as well as the three generations of Mizukage, the Iron Country General Mifune, the leader of the Takikushi Dynasty, or the leaders of the rest of the small country ninja villages, all gathered here.

However, although so many people have been gathered, it is still the Five Shadows who can really make the final decision.

"The Ghost Country has already replied, and they have agreed to unite to kill Xiao's people first, and then our alliance army will split the victory or defeat with the Ghost Country."

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said this.

Unlike previous ninja wars, this time there are three participants.

No matter which side it is, it has unparalleled strength, and it can be said that almost all ninjas in the ninja world are involved. Even the warriors of the Iron Nation did not escape.

If it weren't for the fact that the daimyo didn't allow it, the four generations of Thunder Shadow would still want to incorporate the ninja monks in the Five Great Ninja Temples into it. The strength of the ninja temple is not weak, and the total number of ninja monks in all the five major countries is also thousands, which is a good force.

Moreover, the ninja monks of the Ninja Temple, like the shrine maidens of the Oni Country, have inherited mysterious power inside, and this power is related to the chakra system in ancient times.

Fortunately, the four generations of Thunder Shadow were just a pity, and they didn't force it.

"When I unite with the country of ghosts, I always feel like I'm trying to hide my tiger skin. The last time we attacked the Land of Demons, we had sacrificed thousands of elite ninjas in the fog, and we couldn't shake their sea area even a bit."

The fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi sighed, and there was a little more sadness on her slightly charming face.

"This is also something that can't be helped, this war, no matter what it is, in short, we have to take back the tailed beast first, and avoid the birth of that infinite moon reading, this matter is the most important. Therefore, it would be unwise to fight the Oni Kingdom until the Tailed Beast is recovered."

The fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luo Sha clasped his hands in front of his chest and said to Terumi.

It's not just Zhaomei, but there is basically no one in the five shadows here who likes to deal with the country of ghosts. The five great powers can deal with each other because they are close to each other in strength.

Even the country of thunder, which has the strongest comprehensive strength, has not opened a substantial gap with the rest of the villages, and in general, it is still within the range that can be estimated.

However, the power of the Oni Country has long surpassed that of the great powers, and the Fourth Ninja World War has uprooted Mt. Myoki, one of the Three Holy Lands, while resisting the ninja forces of the Four Kingdoms. Although it uses the power of the Dragon Cave, it can also be seen that the military strength of the Ghost Country has opened a very exaggerated gap with the rest of the big countries.

"Yes, no matter what, the conflict of interests is our internal matter, but if Akatsuki's plan succeeds, the ninja world will be destroyed.... At this time, the lesser of two evils is the right choice. There shouldn't be such a thing as the Ten Tails."

Mifune, as a neutral party, nodded in the same way.

For the alliance with the country of ghosts, the Xiao organization was excluded first, and this plan was agreed by more than half of the people, including the Five Shadows. And recapture the Tailed Beast, and once again divide the Tailed Beast into various villages

In hand, it is the safest way.

This will not only continue to maintain the balance of the past, but also prevent the tailed beasts from being regrouped and create the terrifying chakra creature of the Ten Tails.

"It's come to this, and it's too late to regret it. The only thing that isn't certain is whether the Oni no Kuni side will keep the agreement, or stab us in the back when we go to war with Xiao. Therefore, while uniting with the Ghost Country, we must also be wary of some of their small actions, and we must not be careless."

The four generations of Thunder Shadow knocked on the table, and the meaning of their words was very clear, while establishing an alliance with the Ghost Country, it was also necessary to prevent them from playing tricks.

This kind of renegade on the covenant is not uncommon between nations. Paper or something, it's not binding at all.

Especially at such critical times.

The rest of the Five Shadows, as well as the leaders of the rest of the villages, also nodded secretly.

Betrayal at such a time is likely to lead to a crisis of annihilation for the Union Army.

"Thunder Shadow is right, you have to be extra careful about this kind of thing." Onoki nodded and continued, "Next, there is the establishment of the General Staff and the Intelligence Department, and according to the meeting a few days ago, the personnel have basically been decided, please confirm again."

After speaking, Onoki took out the printed paper document and gave each person a copy.

In the Alliance Army, Ai, the fourth generation of the Thunder Shadow, is the most senior leader of the Alliance Army. And the general staff of the coalition army is the tsunade who serves as the fifth generation of Hokage.

However, most of the time, Tsunade is not involved, after all, she, the general staff officer, also serves as a medical ninja.

Therefore, the staff of the alliance army, mainly Konoha Kanobu Nara Shikahisa and Yungakure Kami Shinobu Azabui, and the rest of the villages also dispatched Kamishinobu with brain ability and a lot of combat experience, and merged into the staff department to assist the two acting staff officers.

In addition, the intelligence force is mainly based on Konoha Kamishinobi Yamikai Haiyi and Kirigami Shinobi Qing, assisted by the perception ninjas of the rest of the villages, in addition to transmitting intelligence, they will also contact various units in a timely manner, so as to understand the front-line battle situation and make correct strategic deployments.

And under the intelligence unit, a reconnaissance unit with a perception ninja as the main one was set up, which was responsible for searching and collecting intelligence. This is the main component of the coalition forces and occupies a very important role.

"In the important positions of the General Staff and the Intelligence Department, there are Konoha shinobi, so in the assignment of duties, will there be something inappropriate?"

Luo Sha hesitated.

In such an important department, Sha Yin is basically going through the motions, which makes him feel quite complaining in his heart. This is also related to the withering of sand hidden talents.

In this regard, Iwakuin is almost the same.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, Nara Shikaku doesn't say it, you know the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan. With Yamaaka in the air, the Intelligence Department can be up and running at the most efficient speed, becoming our most important eyes and mouth."

Knowing that it was inconvenient for Tsunade to answer this question, the four generations of Thunder Shadow took the initiative to speak.

"Where's the blue of the mist? You must know that according to the performance of the Fog Hidden in the Fourth Ninja World War, there is enough reason to suspect that some of the high-level cadres of the Fog Hidden have been infiltrated by the Oni Country."

Raksha frowned.

"I can't assume that I haven't heard that, Lord Kazekage. Those high-level cadres who eat inside and outside have been cleaned up by the four generations, and even if there is a surplus, they can't touch the core of the fog. And Qing is not only our No. 1 perceptual ninja in the fog, he is also the patriarch of the fog, and it is impossible for this kind of person to be bought by outsiders. It's better not to underestimate us." Terumi said with a smile.

-

The fourth generation of Yakura, who carried out the coup d'état, was also a close minister of the third generation of Mizukage. Luo Sha secretly scolded himself. Even if it is a close minister, it is not impossible to betray.

However, Luo Sha also knew that in the important positions of these departments, it was impossible to install Sand Yin Shangnin. Ye Cang's strength is enough, but she is a candidate for a general, and she is not good at brain and intelligence analysis.

Markey ...... It's only a little influential in Shayin Village, and in the eyes of the rest of the villages, it's not a shinobi worth paying special attention to.

And the rest of the sand hidden's upper ninja,

Either he completely retired like Ebizo and ignored the strife in the ninja world, or he lacked qualifications and his abilities were not recognized.

"Looks like it's fine." The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow turned his head to look at Mifune, "Mifune, have you done what you got done?" Mifune nodded.

"It's been dealt with. Everyone, please see." Mifune took out a forehead guard.

It is completely different from the previous ninja forehead guard, there is no eye-catching and familiar marking, and instead there is a word "ninja".

"Those of you who used to dominate one side are now united for a common reason and are fighting against a common enemy, so I think the word "shinobi" is the most appropriate for the Alliance Army. In addition to that, we samurai will also act as the power of ninjas."

The rest of the shadows nodded to themselves.

Since it is intended to be united, it is only natural that the same type of forehead protector should be used in order to enhance internal cohesion. Although this cannot completely resolve some internal disputes, it at least has a good start.

Picking up the forehead guard of the word 'forbearance', the fourth generation of Lei Ying walked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room. The rest followed.

Outside, in the huge square, nearly 100,000 ninjas assembled.

Densely packed, the body is as straight as a gun, and it is arranged in an orderly manner, as if it is connected into one. Everyone is like a rainbow, 100,000 ninjas gathered, at a glance, extremely shocking.

The eyes of everyone in the conference room, including the Five Shadows, also vibrate, revealing an eager light. "Ladies and gentlemen, the victor of the Fifth Great Ninja War will be us!"

"Of course!"

As soon as the four generations of Lei Ying's voice fell, the rest of the people's voices immediately responded. -....

"The word "forbearance" protects your forehead, do you want to change this thing?"

In a large room where the staff and intelligence departments were mixed, the shinobi from various villages of the Alliance Army gathered. The shinobi led by Nara Shikahisa and Azabui formed a staff force.

The top ninjas, led by Yamanaka Haiichi and Aoi, set up an intelligence unit.

Everyone here has received the "ninja" forehead guard that has just been distributed, and according to the understanding of the upper echelons, all ninjas and samurai affiliated to the alliance army will wear this kind of forehead guard to fight.

"This is a matter of course, this is our determination to unite, and as an example, we cannot ignore the role of the human heart."

Azabui and Shikaku took the lead in putting down their original forehead guards and replacing them with the word "ninja" used by the Alliance Army. The rest of the people followed suit and changed to the word "forbearance" to protect their foreheads.

"Now, then, let's test how well the equipment performs."

Haiyi and Qing walked to the center of the room, where a huge water ball floated, and in addition to that, there were cables and headsets connected to them.

The two of them, as well as the rest of the sentient ninjas, sat down around the giant water balloon, not wearing head-mounted protective equipment, but just sealing their hands to communicate with the water balloon with chakra, and waves of ripples began to shake on it.

"Looks like it's running pretty well."

After a few seconds, Haiyi, who seemed to have received something, nodded, confirming that there was no problem with the performance.

The rest of the Shangnin, who were in charge of perception, also glanced at each other and nodded, indicating that there was no problem and that it could operate normally.

"Next, we need to gather more sentient ninjas, although according to the meeting of the leaders, there is no need to fight the country of ghosts at the moment, but it is inevitable that there will be conflicts later. The country of ghosts has the ability to counter-perceive ninjutsu, and if we don't unite more perceptual ninjas, we may be confused by their perception and blockaded."

Hai Yi solemnly reminded.

In the fourth ninja war, Konoha suffered a loss in this regard, resulting in being surrounded by the troops of the Oni Country in the back, and he could only stay in the camp and wait for death. Out of the camp, it's all dangerous areas.

If you don't pay attention to this issue, in the face of the country of ghosts, the alliance army will become blind people who can't look at it. Before the war began, the combat effectiveness was reduced.

"I'll tell you to keep an eye on that. But if you want to gather people, it will take a little time, and among the fog hidden ninjas I brought, it is

There are a few people who meet Mr. Haiyi's needs, and they are just in the right place."

Qing nodded in response.

"Then please, anyway, gather as many sentient ninjas as you can."

Hai Yi did not refuse, since they all belong to the Alliance Army, then, for the time being, there is no distinction between them. After all, in terms of being infiltrated by the country of ghosts, Konoha is even more unbearable than the fog.

As a close minister of the fourth and fifth generations of Mizukage, Aoi and the people he personally recommended can be trusted. O

When the ghost shark returned to Yuyin, it was already night.

The Yuyin Village is silent, except for the tall tower in the center, there is no breath of life. All were evacuated and evacuated to a safe area in the River Country.

Even the Rain Hidden Ninja was one of the few who was transferred to the safe zone and banned from the war by Nagato. "Are you back? Looks like we've had a tough fight."

In the hall on the top floor of the tower, Nagato stood there, looking at the returning oni shark with a faint expression, and his tone was not wavering. "Yes, Turtle Island is full of a group of tricky ninjas, and if I continue to fight hard, even I will be left there completely."

The ghost shark nodded.

His hair and clothes were wet from the rain, his body was cold, and the tiredness on his face was just as palpable. "But..."

The ghost shark grinned at this time, showing its sharp teeth.

"Mission accomplished. I finally mixed a tracking shark water bomb into the Thousand Sharks, which has been marked on Turtle Island, and then I can lock the direction of Turtle Island at any time. However, there are only three days. After three days, the mark will disappear."

"No, three days is enough."

Nagato was pleased with the result.

Among all the members, the ghost shark is definitely the one who works hardest. "Well, how do you say that?"

"The Confederates have made a war report, and tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rises, the war will begin." "So fast?"

"Once they have been deployed, of course they must start the war as soon as possible. In addition, the movement of some of the troops on the side of the Ghost Country is also very obvious, and it is aimed at Xiao."

Nagato's tone was a little cautious.

The alliance army is already troublesome enough, and the country of demons is also involved, planning to jointly attack the area occupied by Akatsuki's forces, which is a sign of headache for him.

The worst thing happened.

From the time Shiraishi participated in the Five Shadows Talks and exposed the Ten Tails and the Infinite Moon, Nagato knew that Shiraishi was preparing for the Great War at that time.

In order to give the alliance army and the country of ghosts an opportunity and a reason to unite.

And although Xiao's plan is not to control the world with infinite monthly reading, who would believe this kind of words? As long as you have a hand that activates the Infinite Moon Reading, it is the first dangerous target for the Alliance to eradicate. There are some dangers, not whether they are launched or not, whether they are in the hands or not.

With this possibility, less than one in 10,000, the coalition forces will act, and this is an inevitable thing.

Otherwise, why would the samurai of the Iron Country preach that the samurai would not be at odds with the Oni Country, but clearly designate Akatsuki as their enemy?

"That's terrible. The Alliance Army and the Ghost Country are now aimed at us, and the Bai Jue who was dispatched out, as well as those dragon beasts, can they really stop them from joining forces?"

The ghost shark smiled, but the meaning revealed by the smile was not easy at all. Whether it is the Alliance Army or the Oni Country, they are all behemoths.

Both sides have the powerful ability to compete head-to-head with Xiao. Now that the two behemoths are united, it is even more terrifying.

"Things haven't gone that far, as long as we can quickly catch the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, then victory will be ours. Fortunately, we now know the exact whereabouts of the human pillar forces, so we just need to keep an eye on them."

Nagato said.

"What about the Seven Tails? In our hands there are only six tailed beasts." The oni shark frowned.

"Most of the Seven Tails were personally protected by the Chiba Shiraishi faction, and that candidate was most likely Uchiha Obito. Trying to snatch food from him, several

It's almost unachievable."

When it comes to combat ability, Nagato is not afraid of Uchiha Obito.

But the opponent's space-time pupil technique is too convenient, even if he is he, he can only distort the space and restrict the other party to a certain extent. But if the other party is bent on leaving, or hiding in a special space and not coming out, others can only stare dryly.

And as far as Nagato knows, the reason why Uchiha Obito awakened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye was because of the seven-tailed man Pillar Force Nohara Rin. It was the chain that Chiba Shiraishi used to lassoze the Uchiha Obito, and in terms of protection, it was absolutely terrifying beyond imagination. In contrast, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails still have the possibility of being captured.

"Anyway, at the moment when the war officially begins, I will immediately set out to arrest the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails and retrieve them. The Paynes and Ah Fei will assist the White Absolute and the Dragon Beast Legion to contain the main forces of the Alliance Army and the Ghost Country."

"In that case, I don't have to worry about it for the time being." The ghost shark smiled reassuringly.

"No, it's not time for peace of mind. There's also a hidden tricky guy who doesn't know when he'll do it." Nagato's eyes were inexplicable.

The oni raised an eyebrow and looked at Nagato with an inquiring gaze.

Nagato didn't hide this question, and spit out a person's name from his mouth: "Shimura Danzo."

O

"Brother Scorpion, are you really not going to act with me? Obviously, our art works so perfectly. Hmm."

In the Ziyuan City Military Region, Deidara, as a member of the Thorn Team, is now going to be the vanguard force, following Ichihime to advance towards the Land of Rain, and firing the first shot of the Oni Country's attack on Xiao.

However, before leaving, Deidara still hopes that the scorpion will also act with him. Cooperate as you did in the past.

In response to Deidara's invitation, the scorpion just glanced at him lightly.

"I agreed to the princess's invitation because of the high salary and the security here. I'm not interested in the ninja world anymore."

」... I always feel that Brother Scorpion, you look like one of those bald people who can see through the red dust now." Deidara looked at the scorpion's indifferent posture of wanting nothing and couldn't help but complain.

"Deidara, I'm almost forty years old, and I just want a peaceful life now." -.

Deidara glanced at the scorpion's immature face, which looked to be fifteen years old at most. And in terms of biological age, it is also fifteen years old.

However, Deidara knows that the mentality of the scorpion is close to middle age. From the moment he came back from the dead, the will began to slowly shift.

To want to live, to live for the sake of the dead, is not just for yourself, as in the past. Deidara is relieved that Scorpion has found a reason to live for it, but she is not envious at all.

He also wants to show his art to the world, and he is determined to go on no matter who uses it.

"Okay, then Brother Scorpion, you can enjoy your retirement life here, while appreciating my art. Hmm." "Just don't die."

Under the scorpion's gaze, Deidara jumped onto the back of the huge white bird that had already been pinched, and flew towards the sky, quickly becoming the size of a black dot.

In the moonlit night sky, the stars shine brightly.

With the help of flying ninja equipment, more than a dozen figures flew in the sky like meteors, and with a whoosh, they easily crossed a distance of hundreds of meters.

Only Ichihime, who led the team in front, soared in the air with six chakra wings derived from the peacock magic method, flashing with a brilliant blue light.

The city on the land was still brightly lit, but under the rapid flight of the people, it also faded away, and the scene of the city became blurred.

Deidara caught up with the group, her dark blonde hair, tied up with a rope, fluttering backwards in the midst of the blistering flight. Kazuhime glanced backwards and saw Deidara returning, and suddenly picked up speed and flew in a southeasterly direction.

The rest of the people also understood, and in the silent exchange, all the staff tacitly increased their speed, leaving a series of shining meteor trails in the night sky, and marched towards the front line in the southeast.
